AGRICULTURAL NOTES. I BY A PRACTICAL FARMER. IMPROVING IRISH LIVE STOCK. Excellent progress is evidently being made in the Government schemes fcr improving the breeds of Irish live stock. The total number of sires allocated under the horse- breeding premium scheme was 393, of which 181 were thoroughbreds, twelve Irish draught stallions, 100 half-breds, seventy-five Clydes- dales, and nineteen Shires. The attempt to revive the old Irish type of draught horse appears to meet with fair success, and the half-breds and the^ Clydesdales both show continuous progress, while Abe thoroughbred and the Shire had a slight set-back as com- pared with 1912. The number of mares passed at the 229 local exhibitions as sound and suitable was 5,024, made up of the dif- ferent breeds in about the same proportions as the sires, and ihe total amount expended for nominations, including £ 1,810 from the Development G -ant, was £ 11,467. There were 13,765 mares inspected, of which 8,251 were passed by the judges as eligible for nominations, but of these 797 were rejected as unsound, and 72 per cent, of the nomina- tions were given to mares six years of age and under. The total amount expended in premiums for bulls was £13.032, and funds were set aside for the award of an aggregate of 959 premiums. Local exhibitions were held at 440 centres, and 579 bulls that had held pre- miums in 1912 were passed as suitable for further service, but only 560 were actually re- tained. Only 340 new applicants were selected, making the total 900 instead of the maximum of 959 provided for. Of this total nearly two-thirds were Shorthorns--namelv, 592—185 Aberdeen-Angus, sixty-seven Here fords, and fifty-six other breeds, and with few exceptions all the bulls were less than four years old, and more than a third of the total were yearlings. In addition, 265 bulls were placed under special arrangement for congested counties, making the total number of sires distributed under the scheme 1,165. The number of premium boars was 395, comprising 250 large whites, twenty large blacks, and 125 white Ulster. The sheep- breeding scheme is only on a limited scale, being confined mainly to the congested coun- ties, in which 103 black-face mountain rams were sold at reduced prices. • HOW TO TAKE SAMPLES. I With reference to my recent remarks on the failure of the Fertilisers and Feeding Stuffs Act to achieve what it was intended to do, I am reminded that failure to comply with the sampling regulations is not infre- quently the reason why successful proceedings are not taken when there has clearly been contravention of the Act. It may be well, therefore, to mention. the following points in the official regulations: The sample must be taken within ten days of arrival of the manure or receipt of the in- voice—whichever is later. The seller must receive three days' notice of intention to sample, with notice of time and place for the operation. The sampling must be performed in conformity with the instructions of the Board of Agriculture. Bags of manure must, of course, remain intact until after the opera- tion. The buyer should always carefully com- pare the percentages of nitrogen, phosphate of lime, and potash inserted in the invoice with the quality agreed upon at time of purchase. A sample should then be sent, as per Board of Agricultural instructions, to the Official analyst for the county; but if the buyer should not desire the certificate of analysis to be of such a formal nature, he can forward the sample to the analyst of his local agricul- tural society or to any well-known analyst. He will have the iatisfaction of knowing that the "samples have been drawn in such a manner that the certificate of the analyst will be accepted without demur, and can be used as a basis for compensation should it show that the quality was inferior to the quality purchased. < LOSS IN WEIGHT OF CATTLE IN I TRANSIT. An important investigation has been car- ried out for several years in order to test the loss in weight of the different classes of cattle when conveyed by rail, and to discover the various factors causing a greater or smaller loss in* the course of the journey. The loss in weight depends very materially upon the length of time the cattle are kept without food and water before being loaded; the nature of the feed which the cattle have before loading—good hay is recommended as Being superior to beet pulp or silage; the weather conditions at the time of loadÜJg. during transit, and at the market; the char- acter of the journey—slow, rough journtys causing greater loss—and the treatment the cattle received at unloading stations; the time of arrival at market-if the cattle arrive just before being sold they have no time to have a good feed. It wa-s found that cattle reaching the market ^ariy on the day of sale or the afternoon of the previous day fed better than those arriving during the night. The tests showed that an exceedingly large feed at market is not desirable, as it de- tracts from the selling price. The shrinkage in the case of calves holds about- the same proportion to their weight as is found with grown cattle. Steers usually shrink somewhat less than cows of the same weight. The loss in weight over a long jour- ney is greatest proportionately during the first twenty-four hours. The shrinkage during a journey of thirty-six hours is found to range from 3 to 4 per cent. of the live weight, and during a journey of seventy hours from 5 to 6 per cent. It is advised' that cars conveying cattle be well bedded with sand or similar material to prevent slipping or falling, which, of course, tires them unnecessarily. KILLING WEEDS AND MAIMING I CROPS. Readers may be interested to have particu lars of some experiments carried out at fifti different centres last year, to test the efficacj of calcium cyanamide in the eradication ol charlock and wild radish. There was a wide range of fcoil and weather conditions at thes< centres. The crops were spring-sown, and, in most cases, oats; the calcium cyanamide was applied at the rate of 1341b. per acre on the average. The weed plants were at different stages of development at the different centres when ) the calcium cyanamide was applied. The ap- j plications were always made in the early, morning after a dewy night. In most cases j the succeeding weather was favourable—i.e., without rain, and in these cases the effects of the calcium cyanamide on the charlock and wild radish were visible on the two succeed- ing days, plants with from four to six leaves being completely burnt, and even stronger plants being usually killed. Plants in bloom were not completely burnt, but were weakened to such an extent that the oats overgrew them later. At four centres where there was rain after the application of the' calcium cyanamide the effect was not visible nntil a few davs later and was 1-s marked man in tne preceaing cases, ine experiments also showed thistles to be very susceptible to calcium cyanamide. Although there was a yellowing of the oat plants a few days after the applications, it was established at all centres that the calcium cyanamide had no harmful effect on the young oats. At eleven centres clover was sown in the oats. In nine cases, when the oat crop was taken, the clover was seen to be better than on untreated plots; in two cases it was worse, but attained a better growth by the autumn. In no case did the calcium cyanamide permanently harm the clover. At all centres the manurial effect of the calcium cyanamide was very noticeable-equal, in fact, to that of either sulphate of ammonia or nitrate of soda when these were tested. In the less badly infested fields the gain from the treatment was about 5cwt. of grain per acre over the control plots. But for the treatment in some of the badly-infested fields these frould have had to be ploughed up.

SPORTS AND PASTIMES. The competition at Henley this year pro- mises to be of an international character in the leading events, and the publication of the "list of Colonial and foreign entries, which close on June- 1st, will be awaited with some interest, says an Observer writer. It is quite dikely that England will have to fight hard to tretain the Grand Challenge Cup for eights -and the Stewards' Challenge Cup for fours. It appears practically certain that the /United States will send two eights for the Crund Challenge Cup. The Union Club, of 'Boston, and an eight from Harvard University will compete. This is stated to .be the Har- IVard second boat that met with great success at the American Henley. No Harvard crew "has ever been seen at Henley, but in 1906 harvard rowed' a match against Cambridge -University over the Boat Race course and suffered defeat. The Boston Union Boat Club crew will be made up entirely of Harvard graduates who have rowed in the University moat, so that quite a big party or Harvard anen will be over, and they may count on a swarn) welcome. The American Rowing Association, which las secured an agreement with the Henley executive, must not be confused with the 4Katiorial Association of Amateur Oarsmen of the United States. The former was formed to -run the American Henley, but more recently widened the scope of its operations by affiliat- ing the best clubs in the States, including the leading Universities. The other outside entries will include <he Winnipeg R.C. eight for the Grand and a couple of Canadian scullers for the Dia- monds, including R. Dibble, of the Don R.C., Toronto, who is the holder of the amateur sculling championship of America. The Mainzer Ruder Verein, of Mayence, will again send a four for the Stewards' Cup, and possibly an eight for the Grand. Last year the Mayence four defeated the Argonaut (Toronto) and Leander in the Stewards' Cup, but lost the final to New College on a foul, the Germans steering very erratically and colliding with their opponents. So far as the home entries are concerned, Xeander, London, and Thames may be reck- oned as certainties for the Grand. The 'Var- sity entries will depend to some extent on the Tesults of the Summer Eights, but it is antici- pated that a combined Trinity (First and Third) crew and Jesus will represent Cam bridge in the Grand, whilst New College will most likely be the only Oxford entry. Leander, Thames, London, and New College are probables for the Stewards' Cup. There will be a big contingent of college crews for the Ladies' Plate and Thames Cup, and Eton, Radley, Shrewsbury, and Beaumont are expected to represent school rowing in the Ladies' "Lord Wimborne and the members of the English polo team left Liverpool for New York on Saturday in the Carmania. It would be absurd to say I am confident of the result," said Lord Wimborne, but I have a much better team than I anticipated I would have a few days ago. If we can get the team thoroughly together we may put up a better game than we thought." The demand for Beats for the polo matches at New York is so great that extra stands are being erected to accommodation a total of 47,000 persons. It is confidently expccted that next year's international polo meeting at San Francisco will be the biggest thing of its kind ever attempted. Every effort is to be made to make it really representative of polo in every part of the world. Mr. J. Cheever Cowdin and Mr. John B. Miller, the special commis- sioners who were recently in London, are now on the Continent arranging for the visit to San Francisco of teams from France, Spain, Germany, and Austria. The British War Office is to be approached to grant permission to officers to compete in the open Army events, and an invitation is also to be sent by the United States Government to India to secure the attendance of native teams. The travelling expenses of ponies and the grooms in charge of them are being paid by the ex- position management. Another name has been written on the scroll of golfing honours, says the Observer. It is the name of Mr. J. L. C. Jenkins, a player well known in the Troon district and scarcely so well known elsewhere. Mr. Jen- tins has on several occasions worthily repre- sented his country in international matches, and has gone some distance in previous championships. For some time he has been knocking at the door of golfing fame, and on Saturday it opened to him. Mr. Jenkins is a short, alert man of thiry-one,very self-pos- sessed, very confident, with a command over every shot that has to be played. In the championship he beat in turn Mr. Castle, Mr. Munn, the two Martin Smiths, Mr. H. E. Hambro, the Hon. M. Scott, and Mr. Norman Hunter. The runner-up is Mr. C. O. Hezlet, whose mother and sisters have figured so soften in ladies' championship meetings. So numerous are the entries in the 108 classes of the International Horse Show, which opens on June 4th at Olympia, that it will be necessary to hold three performances on each of the eleven days. The mornings will be devoted to preliminary judging, so that a weeding-out process will leave only the best of the animals to be dealt with during the afternoon. This reduces waits, and leaves more time for varying the programme. When it is known that in each of the jumping classes there is an average entry of seventy horses, it will be realised that the judges have no light task before them. and their work will extend from 10 a.m. until midnight, and possibly later. I There is every prospect that all parts of the British Empire will be represented at the Bisley meeting in July next. Oversea contin- gents are expected from India, Australia, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, Rho- desia, the East African Protectorates, Egypt and the Soudan, the China Ports, Burmah and the Straits, the Mediterranean, Ceylon, the West Indies, West Africa, and the Chan- nel Islands. The All-Indian team, which has been raised by Major W. Donald Smith, Madras Volunteer Guards, is now on its way to England in the P. and O. steamship Nubia. Very interesting was t Ie programe of the London Athletic Club's spring meeting at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. One encourag- ing result, in view of the Olympic Games, was the performance of F. O. Kitching, of the promoting club, at throwing the javelin. He won that event at 143ft. 3in., by far the best recorded achievement of its kind by a native- born Englishman in England. At throwing the discus also A. E. Flaxman (L.A.C.), the hammer-throwing ex-champion, did well. He won that event at 115ft. lOlin., beating the old Oxford University" blue," W. E. B. Henderson (L.A.C.), by 3-2 Ift E. W. Haley won the club's quarter-mile champion ship somewhat easily in 51sec. C. N. Seed house, the quarter-mile ex-champion, had-, sent in his name for this event after a long absence from the path, but he arrived from his home at Newmarket just too late to com. pete. Captain H. E. H. Blakenev (L.A.C.), an Army ex-champion, won the 300 yardE hurdles handicap from scratch in 39sec. E. W. Britton, Ashcombe A.C., was doubly successful by winning the 100 yards open" handicap, with eight yards start, in 10 l-5sec., and the 220 yards handicap, with 15.} yards start, in 23sec. In the absence of H. Shelton (holder) F. de B. Collenette won the club's mile challenge quite easily in 4min. 37sec. The finest bit of running throughout the afternoon was shown by B. Ives, the Queen's Park Harriers hon. secretary, in the two miles "open" handicap. Starting from the virtual scratch mark of 65 yards, he rapidly cut down the field, and, getting the lead 300 yards from home, won by 18 yards from H. Taylor (Geneva A.C.), 220 yards start, in the fast time of 9min. 28 2-5sec.

when asked to pay his bill in a Bordeaux restaurant a customer named Emile Lafort produced a revolver and shot the landlord dead, He then fired at the landlord's wife and her sister, both of whom are fatally wounded. Afterwards h{! surrendered to the PoJice.

CHIPS OF NEWS. I Mr. F. J. C. Ganzoni, the Unionist candi- date, has won Ipswich from the Government with a clear majority of 137 over both the Liberal and Socialist candidates. Much anxiety and alarm is felt concerning the fate of Mr. Gustav Hamel, the famous aviator, who has been missing since Saturday. The suffragette headquarters in Kingsway have been raided by the police. Further out- rages occurred during the week-end. The Prince of Wales may quite possibly spend a third year at Oxford. A lightship has been wrecked on a voyage from Scotland to Halifax, and a loss of twenty-five lives is feared. large steamer Transylvania, for the Cunard and Anchor lines service between Mediterranean ports and the United States, was launched on Saturday at Greenock. She is the first Transatlantic liner to be fitted with geared turbines. Mr. R. Dixon, of Brandesburton, East Yorkshire, has sold privately, for exporta- tion. the whole \Qf his yearling rams of the Lincoln long-wodled breed, the transaction one of the largest and most important in th( history of the breed. Whilst engaged shunting waggons at Fish- guard Harbour on Saturday, James Phillips, twenty-three, was cauglit between the buffers and killed. lIe had just previously bought some cigarettes, and said, This is my last," but that remark was made owing to his being under orders to go to Port Talbot on Monday. Aaron Robinson, thirty, a Sheffield insur- ance agent,, was found drowned near Notting- ham on Saturday. A memorial to the late Captain Oates, who died in the Antarctic, was unveiled at the School Hall, Eton, on Saturday. Eight men were overcome by fumes during a fire on the German wheat-laden barque Elfrieda at Bristol on Saturday, and several had to be detained in hospital. Thomas Owen, lock gatesman at King's Dock, Swansea, slipped arid was crushed to death between a steamer and the quay wall on Saturday. He leaves a widow and five children. Mr. James Thomas Woodhouse, thirty-two, of Goole, second engineer on the British steamer Burma, lying in Boulogne Dock, was killed on board on Saturday, bis head being crushed in some moving machinery. He was married, and had four children. Maurice Maeterlinck, the Belgian poet, for the first time had a flight at Eze on Satur- day, piloted by M. Maicon. On landing, M. Maeterlinck expressed his delight, and wrote in the airman's book, Tt is a morning prayer in an azure cathedral.

REVIEW OF THE CORN «TIiADE. High summer in middle May is delightful, but it is also portentous. It has its obvious joys, and its hardly less obvious ^threats. The show of spring blossom is extremely brilliant, but is wonderfully soon over. The deep-rooted wheat may be able to sustain the forcing pace of the season, and we see no signs as yet of flagging even on the. chalks. But all lighter and more surface-rooted vege- tation is in danger; and un less we have fairly plentiful and frequent rains (not pass- ing thunder showers merely) within a fort- night the hay crop will be short, and oats will often fail altogether and have to be re- placed by some late root crop. The British wheat gradient this week is be- tween Northumberland (almost always, the cheapest wheat centre) and Nottinghamshire: Nottingham, 34s. 7d. Berwick, 31s. range, 3s. 7d. Prices have risen on the week some- what markedly at Banbury, Bedford, Canter- bury, and Maivchester. Barley has the following range: Cam- bridge, 28s. 6d. Dorchester, 21s. 3d.; gradi- ent, 7s. 3d. No English barley was sold last, week at Hull or Reading, Banbury or Bedford. Oats show the following gradient: Bedford, 20s. Bury St. Edmunds, 17s. 9d.; range,. 2s. 3d.—Mark Lane Express.
